I concur...does anyone else concur?dumbest chart ive ever seen.
Everyone on this board knows that that is not an accurate ranking of where the program stands today, but frankly, I don't have a major problem with it. Going to, and winning, bowl games is nice, but the assumption is that almost any team can get to a bowl game nowadays.
If we want respect, this team needs to start getting ranked on a regular basis. It's almost unimaginable how bad the GROB years hurt this program. It will take time to get the perception in line with reality. Getting to low level bowl games won't do it. Get in the top 25 a few times a year, then the perception will start to improve.
